Isn't this a great hook? Once I saw it on Little Monkey Murals, I had to find out who made it and what else they sold. So I found my way to Mila, based in Germany, and I'm very glad I did. The company's motto is design with a smile - and indeed, I had a huge smile on my face as I browsed through the company's products. Update on August 30, 2010: The specific hooks shown in this post might not be sold any more, but the company still has many delightful options. I've linked to the main page at both sites, so you can page through to see what appeals to you.

These are so many wonderful options that picking just a few to show you was difficult. But here's another of my favorites.

There are also a number of animal options - I was drawn to the poultry, including this one.

Besides the hooks, Mila sells a number of other products, including some wonderful clocks - with many of the same motifs as the hooks. Again, it's hard to pick one - but let's go with the cow this time. Update of Sept. 14, 2009: Again, this specific clock is no longer available - but there are many other options.

A Note on Products

Products don't solve all your organizing challenges. I've gone into many homes and offices littered with products that didn't work - or maybe never got used!

But I do believe it is important to use tools (address books, calendars, storage containers, etc.) that are perfectly suited to you, both functionally and aesthetically (if that matters to you). If you find your perfect tools, you are much more likely to use them!

(Note: Except for any clearly-noted blog sponsorships, I do not make any money on any of the products listed here. I get some free samples sent to me every once in a while, and those are always disclosed.)
